I just 100%'d this game as part of my Steam Achievement Tidy Up, and it reminded me how much I loved it when it came out. It's basically This War of Mine but you're in a castle. You've got characters with strengths and weaknesses, who you've got to keep fed, watered, healthy and unharmed while supplying a garrison of troops - if you don't keep them prepared enough, the next day of the siege you're currently weathering will whittle down more soldiers or their morale, causing an eventual break and a loss. During the night, you go out and scavenge parts of the city for food, water, medicine, weapons and crafting materials - or stay in bed because you're knackered, all while dodging enemy patrols or resolving neat little choice-based encounters. During the day, you craft various workbenches, repair broken gear, make new gear, feed the animals, cook - or stay in bed because you're knackered.

It's a really satisfyingly tight combination of game mechanics that deserves a chef's kiss.

This would have been more a lot more fun if it had some element of combat and strategy. As it is you just slowly walk peasants around, one by one, and click icons to build things. You go out at night to scavenge but again you just slowly walk around and click icons. There's no real challenge, the pacing is slow, just boring really. If this had been a 2D turn based game it would have made the pacing a lot faster and the game more interesting. It doesn't help that the graphics performance is also bad, making it hard to just control things in general.
